I'm finding various online "design your own figure"-type sites and trying to design figures that look as close to me as possible for a self-portrait collage project. This is surprisingly tricky when one (a) wears glasses, which aren't always offered, and (b) normally has blonde/brown hair and currently dyes it vaguely-reddish/blonde. What hair color to pick?

More T-shirt surgery projects (part 1).

On the far left, we have my first pair of shorts made from a T-shirt. It took a bit of resewing to get the legs to taper, but eventually I got them to look decent. I put laces/cinches in the legs because I have a pair of workout shorts with a cinch up each side, but I wanted cinches on all sides of the knees. I also put pockets into it, but made them too small. Something to keep in mind for next time, because I want to try making another one of these in black.

Then there's the cow-tipping shirt, which I made into a miniskirt with ties hanging off like udders. That's going up for sale (not my style at all, but it was fun to make).

On the right, I did an Empire-waisted T-shirt from Tease. It doesn't actually look all that cute on me somehow, so it'll probably go up for sale.
